Either Germany’s European Union (EU) severely overplayed its hand in this continuing Cyprus bank crisis, or else this is the first step in their plan to squeeze nations into economic depression by seizing assets, collapsing jobs, and attacking small businesses in order to better ready member nations for WWWIII.

Bank depositors throughout the EU now greatly agitate over their finances. Harold Maass writes: ‘Forget Cyprus: Why You Should Really Be Worrying About Italy’: “ . . . the bailout imposes losses on people . . . unnerving investors in other eurozone countries, particularly Italy, where political instability threatens to undermine the government’s attempts to confront the country’s debt crisis.”

People in every EU nation find similar concerns on their own turf. Guy Verhoftstadt suggests in ‘Avoiding the Next Cyprus’: “Perhaps Malta, which has an even bigger banking sector than Cyprus . . . much of it highly reliant on offshore depositors. Or maybe Latvia, fast becoming the destination of choice for Russian funds flowing out of Cyprus and now on course to join the euro zone.

“Even Spain or Italy could be vulnerable to a similar bailout, now that the Dutch finance minister, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is president of the Euro Group of finance ministers, has hinted that Cyprus could provide a model for the resolution of future banking crises.”
Cyprus is the key to understanding why the EU will probably disintegrate. Bible prophecy students remain confident that the EUwill break up before the rise of anti-Christ and his seven-year reign.

Rule over Cyprus has always been a tense struggle between Greece and Turkey. Greece is an EU member, Turkey is not. It is so intense that the United Nations has a Peace Keeping Force there to keep them from further armed conflict.

Both countries are part of what will be known as the Revived Greek Empire in these last days. And they will, during the start of that seven year reign, be on one accord of agreement. Today they are not. The same holds true for several Eastern European countries, which were part of the Roman Empire, and will be in the soon coming Revised Roman Empire.

These issues are part of Dake’s Reference Bible, especially in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, and of Daniel in the Old Testament. More depth is covered in Dake’s ‘Revelation Expounded: Eternal Mysteries Simplified.’

Individuals may not be able to control their bank funds, but they can control their futures in the next World War. Remember, only those who are ‘in Christ Jesus’ are assured of everlasting safety in that coming War:

“ . . . the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. . . .Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing (Revelation 5: 5,12).” When those seals are opened, judgment will fall upon earth, such as has never seen before!
